President Joe Biden has been spotted using a series of cheat sheets during his first-ever press conference as US President.
On Thursday, after being in office for 65 days, the 46th US President finally held his first press conference as president in the White House East Room.
According to the reports, the briefing was limited to 25 reporters, whereas Biden was seen using a cheat sheet with journalists’ faces and names.
Throughout the one-hour-long briefing, the president was reportedly seen using a series of notes including one detailing statistical facts about the country’s infrastructure.
“The United States now ranks 13th globally in infrastructure quality — down from 5th place in 2002,” the cheat sheet titled ‘Infrastructure’ read.
“China spends 3 times more on infrastructure than U.S.
“Bridges: More than 1/3 of our bridges (231,000) need repairs or preservation work.”
As the New York Post reported, President Biden made a mistake and was forced to correct himself after claiming the US ranked 85th in infrastructure globally despite his cheat sheet stating otherwise.
In another cheat sheet, reporters present during the press conference are seen pictured and named, whereas circled numbers are seen around the journalists from whom the president took questions.
After allowing selected reporters to ask him ten questions during the 62-minute briefing, Biden abruptly ended the press conference before follow-up questions could be asked and addressed.
“But folks. I’m going,” the president said before walking out of the room and concluding his first press conference as US President.
